Hey there!

If you are getting this and are already signed up, use this as a reminder. If you are getting this and haven't signed up yet, please do so really soon. The final push by the USTHA has started to fill this event. We have 24 so far. I know there are at least 4 who have expressed interest but the time is now to commit. Battle it out with many of the best in North America. The top ranked Canadian and the top ranked United States players are both in the field as well as many other top 25 competitors. Finals will be live streamed to the table hockey world.

The EITHL Fall Shootout tournament is now the STIGA Mississippi Valley Open.
This will be an open event for anyone in the world to play.
$25 entry fee.
The STIGA Mississippi Valley Open is now one of 10 yearly events on the North American Tour.
It will be played October 4th, 2014 at 10am. All player meeting at 9:45am. Doors open at 9am.
Needing a new venue for this event, a large meeting room at the Country Inn Suites just north of Kohl’s in Coralville has been secured and will be the first year home for the tournament.
The STIGA Mississippi Valley Open will be set up just like what we have done in the past. You are all used to the format.
All USTHA sanctioned events include all people interested. NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED. Even first time players can play and have fun.
There will be 3 skill groups in the STIGA Mississippi Valley Open. You will have an opportunity to play elite players in the round robin preliminaries, then be seeded into a group where your skills match the skills of the others in your group to play for 1st, 2nd and 3rd. PRIZES FOR 1st,2nd and 3rd IN ALL GROUPS!
Competition is fierce in all groups at the US OPEN and the NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIPS. There is no reason to believe that our tournament will be any different. As of this writing, there are at least 4 people who are planning to play this new event that have never played STIGA table hockey. So when I tell you that everyone getting this email will be able to compete, I mean it.

If your name is not on the list above, let me know this week if you want to be in the field. Looking forward to seeing you all there!

We are just (a few weeks) away from the Iowa tournament. Please let me know by replying to this email if you are planning to attend this year and I will put you on the player list. If you're getting this e-mail, it means you have played in the MVO in previous years or you have expressed an interest in playing. The following bits of information are important regarding what to do, where to go, and when.

The STIGA Mississippi Valley Open is scheduled for Saturday, October 14th! Like in previous years, the tournament will be held at Country Inn and Suites, 2571 Heartland Place, Coralville, Iowa 52241.

The tournament will start promptly on Saturday, October 14th at 10:00 a.m. Doors will open at least an hour before for warmups and registration (name tags, pay entry fees, player meeting, score sheets, etc). Entry fee for the tournament is $25. No late fees. No early discounts. No worries. Paying at the door is perfectly fine. Cash or check.

Again, please reply to this email and let me know if you are able to make it. In addition, if you have questions, please e-mail me at stevejunge27@yahoo.com or call me at 319-331-4237. We are looking forward to seeing everyone on October 14th and having great day playing table hockey!
